Facing Datasource Credential Missing error while trying to connect Gateway

Hi Jonvoge ,thanks for the quick reply.

Hi PremK ,

Regarding your question, there are two types of data connections: data gateway connections and direct cloud connections. It is as if you are using two data connections at the same time. Are the datasets for the three reports you are connecting to based on data in the cloud or stored locally?
No need for a data gateway if it is based on a cloud data source. For detailed steps you can refer to the following article:

Connect to cloud data sources in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Create and share cloud data sources in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

If based on a local data source you need to configure the relevant data source definition for the gateway. For detailed steps you can refer to the following article:

Merge or append on-premises and cloud data sources - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
